The genome sequence of the 14-Spot Ladybird, Propylea quattuordecimpunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We present a genome assembly from an individual male Propylea quattuordecimpunctata (14-Spot Ladybird; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Coccinellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 579.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (96.58%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.07 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
